Where Is the Best Place to Install Outdoor Motion Activated Cameras?

According to a report, about 60% of convicted burglars said that the presence of security cameras influenced their actions. Therefore, placing cameras in visible locations can deter crime. Consider these top three spots:

1. Front Door: Accounts for 34% of break-ins.
2. Backyard: Accounts for 22% of break-ins.
3. Near Off-Street Windows: Accounts for 23% of break-ins.

If you’re aiming for hidden cameras, here are some discreet placement ideas:

• Under eaves, ceiling or soffits
• Inside a birdhouse
• Behind a glass window (for software-based cameras, as PIR sensors won’t work through glass)
• Within everyday objects like desk plants or bookshelves
• Near trees and bushes
